Obtainium app

"Obtainium allows you to install and update Open-Source Apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available."

https://counter.social/@ecksmc/112636712610020124

A handy way to keep your APKs updated, OpenSource apps, that might not be on play store or FDroid or any other app store

Even if they are on an app store i still prefer Obtainium

you'll need AppVerifier installed works side by side with Obtainium

Why Android No Longer Needs a Cache Partition

Ahhhh the good ol'days lol 👇 lol

If you suspect there’s a system update available and your phone says "Your system is up to date," tap the "Check for update" button again. If there is still no update, then come back in 24 hours.

Finally, the last resort is to restart your device. This could clear out caches and glitches and refresh your device’s connection to Google’s servers.

Despite what your phone says, your software might not be running the most current version. That’s because both the Play Store and system updates have an annoying habit of displaying out-of-date messaging

Old information might be cached, causing both the Play Store and system updates to display inaccurate information.

first try is to head to the store page for each individual app and check to see if an update is available

Updating individual apps through the Play Store is incredibly convenient, but that same system is often frustratingly unreliable, falsely claiming your apps or Android version are up-to-date even when they're not.

Play Store has a bad habit of not showing when an app update is available. You’ll often see all your apps are up-to-date, but when you navigate to the individual app’s page on the Play Store, suddenly there’s an update waiting.

Meanwhile: #Hackers

On Friday, the Treasury Department announced that it is imposing sanctions on two alleged Russian cybercriminals for their alleged involvement in the hacktivist group Cyber Army of Russia Reborn, or CARR, which rose to prominence this year due to its reckless and somewhat sloppy attacks on Western critical infrastructure, as well as its apparent ties to Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency

"We're seeing a rapid decline in consent to use data across the web that will have ramifications not just for A.I. companies, but for researchers, academics and noncommercial entities," said Shayne Longpre, the study's lead author, in an interview.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/19/technology/ai-data-restrictions.html

Those restrictions are set up through the Robots Exclusion Protocol, a decades-old method for website owners to prevent automated bots from crawling their pages using a file called robots.txt.

The study, which looked at 14,000 web domains that are included in three commonly used A.I. training data sets, discovered an "emerging crisis in consent," as publishers and online platforms have taken steps to prevent their data from being harvested.

The researchers estimate that in the three data sets -- called C4, RefinedWeb and Dolma -- 5 percent of all data, and 25 percent of data from the highest-quality sources, has been restricted.

#AI

For years, the people building powerful artificial intelligence systems have used enormous troves of text, images and videos pulled from the internet to train their models.

Now, that data is drying up. Over the past year, many of the most important web sources used for training A.I. models have restricted the use of their data, according to a study published this week by the Data Provenance Initiative, an M.I.T.-led research group.
